    It's been put out there so we need its lifecycle to progress and be updated on its progression into details that professionals can ponder and scrutinise - it can't be left hanging as far as I'm concerned as a psychological ploy. I'm not sure what the precedents are.

    In my letter to Philip Hammond I made that point and will be following up with my MP come September if we are still in the dark. I think we're entitled to further particulars or a reason why there is a delay on the item - as affected parties.

      Now "Behavioural Insights LTD.", a private outfit owned in part by the Government, employees, and...an EBT (you couldn't make this sh*t up, could you?).

      They have a pretty impressive turnover for a start-up.

        Lol Behavioural Insights - an interesting way to make a living
        I'll be also asking my MP to ask a question about whether it is appropriate for the a public organisation to be paying for and using such methods.

          Nada

          A colleague of mine emailed the employment income team earlier this afternoon after we discussed it at lunch -

          "Unfortunately we cannot confirm the date of the consultation at this time. However, we will write to advise you of this information when we are in a position to do so."

          So impending looks unlikely

          He will be following up in 2 weeks.

            Think you'll find that an EBT owns a decent chunk?

                    But to where? Brazil might be a good option.

                      Probably an excellent option for those not planning on spending 10 more of their prime years on this cr*p. If you've got loans, there is a good chance that HMRC is not your no.1 creditor.
